- On Saturday night, just outside the gymnasium at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, anti-violence activist Terrell "Terray" Rogers was shot and killed at halftime during his daughter's basketball game. According to the Gate:
At 8:20 p.m., during halftime of the game, Terrell Rogers and another man left the gymnasium and walked across Ellis Street, between Gough and Franklin streets, police said. Two men approached Rogers near a small church parking lot. Both opened fire, striking him multiple times before they fled on foot, said Sgt. Steve Mannina, a department spokesman.
Rogers' daughter, Tierra, a junior guard for Sacred Heart's women's basketball team, was pulled from the game and told by officers that her father had been shot.
Co-founder of Peacekeepers--"a nonprofit crisis intervention group looking to curb violence in San Francisco, particularly in the Alice Griffith public housing development in Bayview-Hunters Point"--officers think that Rogers was the intended target, although the motive for his murder is not yet known.
- Earlier that morning at 5:20 a.m., a shooting happened at 24th Street and Bryant (right near the best corner store in the entire universe, Samy's. Oh no!) The victim, whose injures were not life-threatening, was rushed to San Francisco General Hospital. "No arrests have been made and no suspect information was immediately available."
- Last night, Sunday, at a little before 10 p.m., two people were shot at 24th Street and Capp in the Mission, near the BART station. According to the Examiner, "one male [a 19-year-old] was killed and another male shooting victim was taken to an area hospital where he is in serious condition." No arrests have been made so far.
